The FTSE 100 is pretty flat on the week and is trading down about 15 points. The trade war between the U.S and China looks set to begin with $34 billion of tariffs imposed on Chinese goods into the US overnight. The markets do not seem overly worried at this stage probably because in the grand scheme of things, these amounts are relatively small. China has stated that it would impact GDP by 0.2%. Obviously if things start to escalate, then we may have a big issue.
